Notes

This fine Dinky model has been carefully handled and stored, obviously spending most of its 54 or so years tucked away in its box. So, this tanker has a lustrous, vibrant, all original paint finish throughout and has very few marks at all to the paint finish.

Notably, even the wheel arches have survived unscathed (save for a dot to a couple). The roof is unmarked and the silver trim is unrubbed. The ‘REGENT’ lettering is complete, save for one tiny nick. The rear transfer has a couple of negligible dots.
This Tanker is exceptionally well presented throughout with an undented tank and a shiny black intact ladder. Note that the ‘ribs’ to the wide side stripe are unrubbed! Very small loss to the wide side stripe at tanker ends. Metal parts are untarnished. Tyres are like new.
How often does one see a Regent Tanker in this condition?
The striped Supertoys box pleases with vivid colours on clean, very close to perfect card. Staples are rusty now. Vivid blue colour of the lower half of the box is completely unfaded and that includes the portion not covered by the lid.
Sill present is the little card piece which fits over the cab.
Dinky stamp inside the box lid dates this particular example June 1957.
A wonderful example with an unsurpassed sheen!
